Playing house

Being a parent is more than I ever imagined. In many ways it is harder, and is so many other ways it is much more rewarding. Yes I sometimes don't have a spotless house, but I get to play, and watch the kids expand their knowledge and I get to laugh and love on a deeper level than I have ever experienced before.
Children know no bounds when it comes to love, at times they might be feisty or stubborn; but the love that they show is unconditional. Even after leaving my baby to cry himself to sleep at nap time or night time, he still cuddles me.
One evening I had a sweet experience with my two year old I took her into Bed changed her and tucked her in I said "I love you, you are a good girl." And she said back, "I love you too." Then as I was leaving again she said, "I love you so much." It's in the moments.
When I was in high school I remember playing with. My little brothers and sisters, or other toddlers and not understanding a word they said! I was constantly asking my mom what did they say? And she would know exactly what it was. Now being a stay at home mom I am learning to love it, and I now get to decode the kids sweet conversations, although I still at times struggle it is so neat to be able to hear their thoughts and the wonderful things they know.
My little boy has started to walk! I knew once he started he would love it, and he does he stands whenever possible; today while eating lunch in the park he had to walk back and forth between daddy and I and stand almost the entire time that we ate lunch.
I am so greatful for summer! We love to be outside!! Almost all day every day we are out playing riding bikes, weeding the garden, playing at the park, or splashing in the blow up pool in the back yard. The kids are getting so tanned! They are starting to play really well together, little brother loves to be close to his big sister, he likes to know that she approves of what he is doing, it is cute to watch them play with cars or fight over the same doll, sometimes it's fun just to sit back and watch them learn to get along.
I'm just trying to get into this blogging this again, so I have to re-teach myself how to do everything haha. I will get it! So for today I only have one picture and its from a couple months ago...

The kiddos love to play, it's hard to catch the smiles sometimes because they are so busy, but I sure love them!! 

Updates

Happy February! Crazy how fasts time flies. Lilly is growing up so fast it seems, she is walking and almost talking, she has such a little personality. We bought a house this last year and moved in, so exciting, I love being in my own house, it is so nice.


Sometimes I miss the social life that I used to have especially living at college avenue, but not going to lie, I pretty much love my house more.

In January Lilly and I went and spent a week with grandma and grandpa Wilson, it was fun Lilly and duke had so much fun together.

For Christmas we got Lilly some mega blocks, she is so cute playing with them, most of the time she just want to take them out of the box and put the back into the box, occasionally she will try to build something, but she is really good at picking up her toys!

I am really excited for it to be warm outside, this cold weather blows... Lilly loves to go outside, when I go out and shovel the sidewalks she loves to some with, she likes to walk up and down the driveway and sidewalk making a circle, I think that it is hard for her to move in her coat though, because sometimes she falls and then can't get up, it is kind of funny because when she falls she doesn't put her hands out to catch herself, she just falls straight onto her head! I feel so bad every time she does... Silly Lilly.

So I am blogging from my iPad and haven't figures out how to put pictures on yet, but when I do I will post some!

Winter Walks

As much as I SO badly want it to be spring/summer, simply just warmer, it isn't and as bad as I  want to go out for walks and play outside with my sweet Baby, it makes it slightly difficult when it is so cold outside.
Bonus: I love breastfeeding because it helps me burn an extra 400 calories/day and have a better summer swim suit body!
Still I want to go outside and PLAY!
I went for a walk with baby and I am certain that she may have enjoyed the new sights... if she could have seen them, she was bundled up so well and although I wanted her to be able to see all the NEW and EXCITING things, I had to cover her up because of the bitter cold Idaho wind.
I don't remember Wind being so cold at home... I miss it the snow would suddenly disappear and it would almost feel like spring with how warm the wind is. although your hair always had a slightly windblown look to it...
oh well, Spring is around the corner, all the more reason to get my spring cleaning done now so that I can play when it comes!

Blooming baby

The weather is starting to get warmer and it is so nice! it makes me want to go out and play in the sun and enjoy it with Lilly! I am excited for when it will be really nice out so we can go for walks and play outside!  My flowers are starting to bloom as well! it makes me happy and excited for when everything else turns colors!

Tonight we gave Lilly her fist food! it was some rice pudding with yams, she ate so fast! and was so upset when i wasn't feeding her fast enough! she was so cute with the food all over her face and eating so quickly.

I love how she is getting so animated, smiling so much and laughing! she loves smiling and playing and laughing. every time I walk into the room she just puts on the biggest smile and brightens my day.
